 A review for "In the line of duty" November 29, 2008
I saw this when I was a teen living at home. It was a made for TV movie about a real life FBI shootout. If you buy this movie (and I highly suggest you do) you'll have to realize this is an 80's movie and the production values are not what we are used to. There is one scene in the beginning where a FBI agent is singing at breakfast and it's kind of goofy BUT from that point forward this movie will suck you in and the ending is chilling. Simply chilling.
David Soul and Michael Gross star as real life bank robbers Michael Platt and William Matix who not only rob banks and armoured trucks but they also kill anyone who gets in their way. Had this movie been pure fiction it may not have had the impact it did on me, however this really happened.
Fantastic movie and bone chilling bad guys makes this favorite 1980s made for TV movie a MUST BUY for movie collectors.
 As good as I remember it July 21, 2008
This was one of the CBS In the Line of Duty Series, I believe it was the first if I am not mistaken. It details the 1986 shootout between FBI Agents and two heavily armed bank robbers, which became known as the Miami Massacre.
All of the actors do a competent job in the rolls. The standout is Michael Gross, coming of his roll in Family Ties, does an outstanding job as William Mattox. This is one of Bruce Greenwoods early rolls and he does an ok job.
The movie glosses over the fact the most of the Agents were SWAT Team members and had better weapons than the armed robbers. But the weapons along with their heavy body armor was in their trunks. The final shootout is extremely accurate from the accounts I have read.
It was worth the $7.99 price I paid for it. Good movie, worth picking up.
A Classic TV Movie June 23, 2008

An excellent addition to my movie library. The FBI Murders is an excellent depiction of this true, horrific event. Ronny Cox and a very young Bruce Greenwood are exceptional in their roles -- particularly Ronny Cox, a very under-appreciated character actor. But the true brillance is going against character: David Soul and Michael Gross (who makes you forget he ever placed Michael P. Keaton's father). These two guys are plain scary. One scene with Gross is downright bone chilling ... sitting at the table in the dark, telling his wife to leave.
You can't go wrong with this movie. It is truly outstanding.
Great Movie April 30, 2008

Based on a true story, I saw this movie on TV many years ago and it was a good movie. David Soul played a great part in the movie I was very happy when I saw it was finally released on DVD. Highly Recommended.
